I saw a brief making-of years ago that said the color green is significant and Estella always wears green. Can't remember specifics. 24.211.249.43 00:57, 19 July 2007 (UTC)

Pip
Why is Pip renamed to Finn in this movie adaptation? Prottos007 (talk) 02:33, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

I think it has something to do with the overabundant fish symbology. Fish seem to symbolise Finn's dreams - when he kills a fish while fishing with Joe it symbolises the death of Pip's artistic dreams. Or such is my interpretation. Fountains are also somewhat symbolic, with Finn often meeting Estella at them. There is A LOT of green as well. 121.0.0.162 (talk) 22:17, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Producer Art Linson covers the production of this film in a chapter of his book "What Just Happened?". In it, he explains that Finn was the name of Ethan Hawke's dog and it was decided on almost as an afterthought, as Pip didn't work with the modern day setting.CallMeRedhead (talk) 15:04, 3 May 2013 (UTC)

Sees, see, or seize
In the first paragraph of the "Synopsis" section it says:


 * "The police sees the small boat heading out to sea."

This is incorrect.

If the police saw the boat with their eyes it would be:


 * "see"

If the commandeered the boat it would be:


 * "seize"

I am not sure which one you are trying to say here, and I have not seen the film.
